Catching summer steelhead and trout with Irideus fly fishing lines and fly fishing fly patterns

Catching summer steelhead and trout with Irideus fly fishing lines and fly fishing fly patterns is a very effective aproach to the water. Its so fun to target trout with nymph fly fishing flies or streamer fly patterns. Matching the hatch and local minnow and sculpin species leads you on the road to fly fishing success in the summer. Whats nice about most of the Califorina fly fishing water is the random summer steelhead feeding on the same Irideus fly patterns as trout. People often think steelhead do not feed. That is untrue and they dine on the local bugs and forage fish.
A beautiful wild California steelhead caught fishing rainbow trout. The searun version of a rainbow trout that will burn your drag adend test your skills. Most times the first thing they do when hooked is to make an amazing leap or two. Trout fishing shall be king most days but the power of a searun model is hard to describe.
Irideus soft hackle pheasant tail that we love to fish in the summer. It even fishes well all year long. People find it hard to believe a 10 pound steelhead will eat a #12 or #14 nymph fly. They love to dine on many nymphs and even dry fly renditions. Trout also love this fly. Sometimes we rig them with a tandom fly running 18 inches behind them. You can do a dry fly with a nymph trailer or a double nymph set up. Its also fun to rig an Irideus streamer fly with a nymph trail fly. In California some people will even fish three flies rigged 18 inches apart. This can be a problem sometimes if you fish roles. We suggest one or two fly set ups. On occasion will run 3 flies when using minnow patterns on very slow days. It simulates a school of baitfish.
This is one Iriseus minnow fly pattern. We have several options to meet local forage fish and sculpin.
Its not allways the big fish that makes your day. Small trout steelhead and baby salmon bring us great apreciation for the water. They are the future. Treat them well and make sure to wet your hand before ever touching any fish. Not using a net is also a good handling technique.
One fun way to play for trophy trout is to fish a baby trout streamer fly pattern. If your lucky you have caught a big trout with anouther trout half way down its throat. Not only will big brown trout do this but also rainbows and bull trout. If this sounds like fun then check out the Irideus mouse fly collection.
Here are some other Irideus fly fishing patterns sure to warm your summer and late fall up.

These are great to have and most of us now use them all the time to avoid losing entire leaders to snags on the bottom.
Float fishing using this set up on coventional gear or below fly fishing indicator floats is very effective. Its probolly the most common way western fly fishermen and woman fly casters go about thier day these days. Some traditional fly casters frown down on indicator fishing.

When fishing gets down to match the hatch it only makes sense to have this approach at your fingertips. All fishermen and woman should have some fly fishing flies to do this.
